Living with Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease
Reading time: 1 min
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) affects the quality of life of patients, not so much due to the severity of the inflammation of the mucosa but due to the persistence of symptoms, which impact the physical and mental health of the patient and sleep quality.
The main objectives of pharmacological or surgical treatment are to control symptoms and avoid long-term complications.
Good health and dietary measures are essential in the control of this disease:
Avoiding heavy meals.
Losing weight if overweight.
Keeping your head raised in bed and avoiding falling asleep straight after meals.
Stopping or reducing alcohol and tobacco use.
